A Partisan Order.

A certain element in the Grand Army
seems intent upon demonstrating that it is
apolitical organization. At Wheeling these
people declined to march under portrait
OF the president hung across the street from
the Democratic newspaper office. They
should not have hesitated to walk under
the portrait Of the president of their coun-
try wherever they found it. But they were
Republicans and desired to express their
political hostility to the president. That
would have done very we'll if they had been
in Republican procession. They forgot
that their order pretends to be non.parti.
san and that it did not do for members of
the Grand Army to act as Republican par.
tsans might have done.
The. Grand Army is in a condition Of
feeling which is likely to disrupt it before
the presidential campaign is fairly opened
II its members cannot control their politi-
cal feeling so as to yield decent respect to
the Democratic president of their country
and the commander chief Of its armies.
it is evident that there must be separs.
tion OF its contending element, and that
the Republican and Democratic ex-soldiers
must abide apart.
No doubt it is trying to the constitution
of an ardent Republican to behave respect
fully to Democratic president Of the
United States, but this may be demanded
from him As a member of q non. partisan
organization and it is evident that
he is not fit to be a member Of
any such association. The Democrats
in the Grand Army will not permit
their Republican associates to drag the asso-
ciation into any disrespect towards Presi-
dent Cleveland; they will march under his
portrait and their associates will keep step
with them or get out from among them.
The question at present offering itself for
Immediate decision is as to whether or no
the Grand Army is partisan order.

A Berlln weather Prophet.

The astronomer Falb, who last year at
tanned some celebrity by his more or less
accurate predictions of earthquake shocks,
has this year come TO grief by his weather
predictions for the months of June and
July. In commenting on his failure, n
German paper recalls the fate which once
overlook another scientific weather
prophet, Professor Dietmar of Berlin, who
had predicted that the winter Of lS2S-29
would be so mild that butchers, confec-
tioners, ETC., would be unable to procure
n sufficient supply of ice. 1t SO happened
that after New Year Of that winter un-
usually cold weather set in, and, as if by
common agreement, so many boxes filled
with ice were sent by post to Professor
Dietmar, the freight charges being un-
paid, that the Postmaster General voI
Nagler advised all postollices by circular
to refuse the acceptance of boxes with ice
for Professor Dietmar OF Berlin.-Nev
